Description
Summary:Due to how COVID-19 affected the whole world, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it to be a pandemic, and some mandatory precautions were taken in the field of education in this direction, as in every other field. The pandemic process has caused disproportionately negative effects on many countries' education systems, creating a universal impact on education and leading to the largest education disruption in recent history. Distance education started with the interruption in face-to-face education and has resulted in certain ethical problems that have caused educators, policy makers, parents, and students to confront some fundamental ethical issues in education. The implementation of distance education has provided students with many advantages in terms of information resource access, education, and evaluation methods. However, individuals may tend toward exhibiting unethical behaviors within the environment of distance education. A US report has stated this situation to be explainable through the concept of psychological distance. Here, a study that examine teachers' and students' opinions about the ethical problems experienced during distance education is highlighted.
